5:03 pm
the terrorists, whatever tourism has more now from give were here in my down in the center of cave, not far away from independence where, where people have been coming here steadily in a way to remembers those they have lost to talk about the war of something that has been very, very traumatizing for them. we're here right in a memorial that's been put with flags right here. it's with people that have been killed during the war. thousands of people have been killed and injured and millions have been displaced by the conflict. and people are coming here. and they're writing on this book that you can see. right where i am. there are stories of personal loss and what have been happening to them all this month. pictures of soldiers that have been killed and other types of stories when they're attending. i think that they want this to be a part of history of what has happened in this country this past month and right behind me, all of those russian tanks that have been destroyed in this past 6 months. they
5:04 pm
have been put here as an act of defiance, government for it. if we're saying that there russia was hoping to be parading their troops through this plaza when this war began. and this is what they got instead destroyed, hang. so suddenly there's lots of meaning on this day for people here and when you talk to them, they say that independence day for their means being closer to europe, being closer to freedom, being closer to human rights. and they want to be further away from most schools. we carry on rules. i want house correspond kimberly help joins us now live from washington, d. c. kimberly and has been saying more money is coming now from president biden for ukraine. what do we know? well, what we know is that this money is continuing to come, but it looks different in terms of the type of security assistance. and what i mean by this is that initially the 10600000000 and security assistance that was supplied
5:05 pm
by the united states thus far over the last 6 months, was really focused on immediate needs. in other words, the pentagon was supplying ammunition with supplying weaponry. that was all ready in stock and could be shipped quickly. but what this next package is really focused on this almost 3000000000 and additional security assistance is long term contracts . in other words, this would be medium and long term defense. so what this would be is anti armor anti aircraft missiles to use against russian tanks and helicopters. but this is really focused on a long term strategy. and what this is, is really a significant moment because what we're talking about here is the fact that this not only marked the 1991 split from the soviet union for ukraine, but also 6 months, as we've been talking about since russia invaded ukraine. so this is
5:06 pm
a really significant moment, not just for ukraine itself in its defense, but also in us security assistance. now, we do know that the u. s. president is set to arrive here at the white house in about an hour's time. we're going to see what more he might have to say about this . but in terms of us support, the u. s. has been very vocal that the united states is in this for the long haul. what this really indicates is that there is likely to be some sort of us security presence in europe for the foreseeable future. kimberly, how could therefore some washington d. c. thank you. is well says i can't accept a revival of the nuclear deal with iran morning. it will be used to destabilize the world as well as ac stations from iran's nuclear chief, that israel has been waiting psychological warfare to sabotage, returned the 2015 agreement. iran has denied us me, reports that it's dropped some key demands from the deal. israel is not against any
5:07 pm
agreement. we are against this agreement because it is a bad one because it cannot be accepted as it is written right now. it would give iran a $100000000000.00 a year. this money will not build schools or hospitals. this is a $100000000000.00 a year that will be used to undermine stability in the middle east and spread terror around the globe. santa jay towel for her by the jaw. the joint comprehensive plan of action was the result of use of negotiations. the final agreement was meant to end all allegations under the deal iran, except as to restrict his nuclear program. and he brought access to inspectors from the international atomic energy agency to help in order to restore trust with yours . and at the same time, all sanctions imposed under the pretext of the nuclear allegations doctor was supposed to be lifted as of now a criminal regime which has a legal nuclear activities and doesn't give access to the i. e i o u has stage

5:09 pm
a non proliferation treaty. they are not part of this nuclear negotiation, therefore they have no right to weigh in on what is happening between sharon and washington and other european powers. as the radians have said that the israeli officials have carried out a number of sacks of sabotage within iraq on nuclear facilities and also defense officials over the past 18 months. all of which israel has denied with the iranians position is israel is just worried that any kind of a refreshment between town and washington would weaken their position in the u. s. capital. and that is why they're doing their best to put pressure on the bottom administration to not accept the terms of the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal. now those terms, we have to remember a r, that's iran. one guarantees that if the next us administration decide the same thing as donald trump, that is to leave this nuclear deal, that they would have to be compensated financially for that because they feel it
5:10 pm
means that are almost scale back at nuclear program as well. get sanctions relief. that is the benefit of them doing so. if they don't get the sanctions relief that they're looking for to try and is this this economy here that is very much in dire need of a strong push. then there really is no incentive for officials inter on to scale back their nuclear program. that is where things are at the moment. we are waiting for the us officials to come back with a response. there's been a draft, a final draft by the europeans and the rating officials that have been put forth that would be about a 20 page document, to hash out that hashes out the details of iran. going back to the 2015 nuclear deal. the officials in iran have respond that now we're waiting for the officials in washington to do the same. we expect their response within the next 24 hours or so. and then we'll have to wait and see where things go. but for the time being, it radians are adamant that the officials in washington should not come under pressure from the officials in israel. and that this deal is really better than
